Our kids shall save the world.
Eta: My parents had a literal bell...a large one. It was GTF outside after breakfast to roam the neighborhood, play football, hogs & dogs, fish, ride bikes, etc. As dusk approached though, a bell like Notre Dame sang out, and we ventured back. My dad. a surgeon, gave us stitches, while drinking beer and watching football. No anesthetic. "No. That was stupid". I miss all of it. |

Graduated HS in 85, awesome time to come of age. Would love to go back but not as clueless as I was back then. I managed a pizza place in 86, made good $ for an 18yo, drove a Camaro and had a crotch rocket and mullet, life was good. I still, to this day, think about that one girl I should have held onto. Her Dad a local judge, didn’t like the longhaired, motorcycle riding, pizza dude from the wrong side of the town that his little girl fell for. Good times for sure.

Quoted: WOLVERINES! The only surviving pic of me in the '80s. From an old girlfriend's MySpace account a couple of decades ago...1987, a couple of months after boot. Soon as I left the main gate, the helmet went on the back. I miss that freedom. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/166803/232d03ef89c8704281d07db5250d3002_zpsfdbf6a7b-341541.jpg ETA: LOL! Come to think of it, that's a Members Only jacket (I loved them). View Quote @Sixtigers Nice ride! I had a V30 and V45. Always wanted a V65. |

Gen-X checking in. Oh what fond memories. GOD I miss the 80s and early 90s till things went to shit.
Drank from a hose. Riding bikes with no helmets (this included dirt bikes). Go carts, BMX, all kinds of fun wheeled toys. Cheep com block guns and ammo, blowing though cases of ammo on a range trip was the norm. Racing to see who could catch the handguard on there mac 90 on fire first, and still get the most hits on steel. 50 dollar disposable sks's. Guns for sale at yard sales. "Refinishing" aka bubbing guns as high school shop projects. Big hair. Good music. Gone ALL day, no one knowing your location or when you would be back. Logging rds EVERYWHERE and all of them open and free to drive and explore. I regret I didn't get more into the music scene. Really cool hot looking outfits. I remember girls in short skirts in high school with no panties. Long live the beaver. Cartoons that held no punches (non PC) and funny as hell. lol I loved my "members only" jacket. Expo 86' was one giant wild party. I still recall, everyone on the look out for that ONE hooker that had AIDS that was supposedly there working the crowd. Her photo was plastered EVERYWHERE. NOTHING was PC in the 80s. |

Quoted: I was never this cool...but I still have my jacket. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: I was never this cool...but I still have my jacket. I wish I was anywhere as cool as the pic looks now. Also wish I still had that jacket. It got hung up for good some time in the late 80s, stolen out of a closet during a party in the mid 90s. |

HS Class of 1984. My girl friend gave me a Members Only Jacket. I wore it even after she sent me a Dear John Letter while stationed in W Germany. I was not in the popular crowd and wanted nothing to do with anything everyone else liked. Looking back, it was a good time to be young. I met my future wife in 1989 and we will celebrate thirty years this summer. Now I feel like I am missing something. I am in my mid fifties and do not feel or look like I thought men in their fifties must have felt when I was in High School.
Here is to a great memory. I will remember the good times and bad. Thanks to the op who started this thread down memory lane. Speaking of "OP" The first time I read OP as in the original poster in a thread I though of the OP brand of shorts and t-shirts. I think it stood for Ocean Pacific. |

I could walk down the middle of the road with my shotgun in my neighborhood at 14 YO going to the woods to hunt and no one thought a thing. I was born in 74 so I got to enjoy a childhood in the 80s. Going to hang out at the mall on Friday nights was a thing too. Then you’d just meet up at the mall and go cruise and drink beer. First real concert was Motley Crue and GNR in 87. Yeah I still think that’s funny that my parents let me go at 13 years old. And we did use our skateboard to get everywhere.

Quoted: Aren’t gen x before 1980? I thought 1980+ were considered millennials. View Quote Wrong Gen X go to 1982-1984 depending where you look. Also I know many 1985-1986 that are far from "Millenials". Eta. Should be a transitional addendum to the Gen X for those non millenial early millenials. |

Born in 72.
The 80s were epic. Anyone that wasn't there just couldn't understand |
